    What BOV?

    Since I sold my Supra I usually just lurk here but. I was on the don't need a BOV side. Until recently My FD had a GT4088 Turbo without a BOV. Started to have compression issue and found both rotarys were low on compression. When it went to be rebuilt the turbo was inspected an there was a large amount of play in the shaft. It was possible to move the compressor wheel about 5mm back and forth in the housing so the wheel was hitting the housing. Once the turbo was off and the housing removed both compressor wheel was missing about 1mm of metal and the housing had 1/2mm of metal missing. There were tiny shards of metal in the intercooler and pipes all the way to the throttle. So as the engine had only done 4500 miles since it was rebuilt it appears as if the compression had been lost due to the sharks getting into the engine The Compressor wheel had unscrewed itself, I was running 1.4Bar and the only way for it to unscrew would be compressor surge. So now I'm in the need a BOV camp
  2. Not a DJI Phantom but I'vs got a TBS Discovery. Word of warning the Phantom isn't powerful so in winds don't fly. I've flown with a friend who has a Phantom where i could fly without any issue when the wind went over 12 mph the Phantom struggled to cope. He's also lost 2 due to winds and that in Milton Keynes not Scotland

  9. Have you accounted for data roaming charges in your budget? Oh and Pics!
  10. Problem with insurance companies is you don't know how good they are until you need to claim and then it's to late.
  11. Wasn't this a thread about insurance not if dukenukem should dump the GF? Insurance would probably cost more than paying for roof and indicator.
